"We are fighting for the very soul of this state"

5/23/2016

“We are fighting for the very soul of this state.” That was the message Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno shared with Illinois residents as she joined Governor Bruce Rauner, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin and leaders of the business community in calling for Illinois Democrats to work in a bipartisan manner to achieve the compromise needed to pass a balance budget during the last eight days of the spring legislative session.

In addressing the media, Leader Radogno reiterated her call for real reforms to state government before enacting any additional revenue increases.

The alternatives to not compromising and passing a balanced budget would be “devastating” she noted.
